Certified Law Enforcement Executive Program
Recognizing Professionalism and Excellence in New Jersey Law Enforcement Executives
The Certified Law Enforcement Executive Program is a voluntary certification effort established by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP). The program is designed to elevate the professional standards and individual performance of law enforcement executives in the State of New Jersey. The Program is administered by the NJSACOP Certification Committee, a semiautonomous structure within the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police. The primary credential awarded under the program is the Certified Chief Law Enforcement Executive (CCLEE).
Other sworn law enforcement personnel who are not yet the head of a law enforcement agency but who are otherwise eligible under the program guidelines may apply for the Certified-Eligible Law Enforcement Executive (C-ELEE) credential.
The Coalition has formed an alliance with the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police to allow Coalition members to earn units, specifically related to accreditation, towards obtaining their CCLEE or C-ELEE certificate. Members may earn the following units by serving with the Coalition:
